Breakouts

DeMarre Carroll SF ATLThe former Missouri Tiger is putting up career highs in points (11.1 PPG), rebounds (5.5 RPG), assists (1.7 APG) and steals (1.5 SPG). Carroll is finally coming into his own contributing across the board for the Hawks.

Terrence Jones PF HOUThe 22 year old Sophomore is currently shooting 54.5% from the field (3rd highest among Power Forwards in the NBA) contributing to his 11.8 PPG mark. Jones is also averaging 7 rebounds per game this year.

Lance Stephenson SG INDThis year's biggest All Star snub, Stephenson has averaged over 14 points per game this year to go along with 7+ rebounds and 4+ assists per game. Lance also leads the NBA in triple doubles this season with four.

Gerald Green SG PHOGreen is having a breakout year. The team's 3rd leading scoring, at just over 15 points per game, is the catalyst to the team's outside shooting hitting over two three pointers per game. The Suns rank in the Top 10 as a team in three point percentage and three pointers made.

Trevor Ariza SF WSHThe journeyman Small Forward is putting up monster numbers for the playoff-bound Wizards. He's shooting a career high 42.1% from behind the arc. His 163 three pointers made is currently the 11th most in the NBA.

Robin Lopez C PORThe Trailblazers took a chance on Lopez this off season and it's paid off. He's put up 27 double doubles (as of March 26th) - he tallied 15 double doubles in his previous five seasons combined.

Busts

Marc Gasol C MEM (ADP 12)The seven footer has struggled this year as he's shooting a career low percent (46.3%) from the field. The Spaniard is also averaging a career low number of rebounds at 6.9 RPG. He's done nothing worthy of being a Top 15 pick.

Deron Williams PG BKN (ADP 13)He's having a solid season in terms of Fantasy productions; however, he isn't putting up Top 15 numbers - which is where he was drafted.

The following players should also be considered busts due to their injury plagued seasons.

Derrick Rose PG CHI (ADP 8)

Al Horford C ATL (ADP 27)

Jrue Holiday PG NOR (ADP 34)

Kobe Bryant SG LAL (ADP 35)

Larry Sanders C MIL (ADP 42)

Ersan Ilyasova PF MIL (ADP 44)
